Clay Pigeon Shooting @ The Grand Social
Indie-alt band Clay Pigeon Shooting will headline The Grand Social this Saturday March 25th to celebrate the launch of their new single ‘i win!’. In 2022 Clay Pigeon Shooting burst onto the Dublin music scene with their debut single ‘vincent van pox’, pulling together elements of shoegaze and noise rock into a distinctly unique sound. The result is a dynamically abrupt and dense sonic personality that sets them apart from their peers. The band has honed their dynamic and blistering live sound, with a string of impressive shows across Ireland over the past few months. They’ve headlined sold-out shows in Cork’s Fred Zeppelins and Dublin’s Workman’s Club. Most recently, they played to a sold-out Whelan’s main stage, cementing their reputation as a must-see live act. Support on the night comes from Yard and Affection To Rent.
